Shooting an Fx Impact in the sitting position

bokes · Dec 8, 2017

Hi, if you have an Impact, can you tell me how you are shooting it in the sitting position?
Is there enough room to use shooting sticks even when a bipod is mounted? Or do you just rest the bipod on your knee (or arm+knee)?
Or do you find it better to remove the bipod for sitting shots?

I have smallish bipod, about 9 inches extended.

I fold legs towards me and place them on top of my knee cap.

Some times I place my left hand between bipod and knee.

You can use shooting sticks, just rest bottle in them.

I think most people place the bi-pod on the air bottle

"Michael"I think most people place the bi-pod on the air bottle

Bi-pod attaches to the weaver rail on the bottom. Do you mean most people place bottle on the shooting sticks?

Picture is worth thousand words, here is how I do it.

shutik yes good picture, that's the hold i'd like to do, is that a comfortable position for you?
I want to buy an Impact but have always felt a bit uneasy about holding up the rifle by the bottle.

It is pretty comfortable. I can sit like that for good amount of time without feeling discomfort.

Putting shooting sticks to support the bottle is more comfortable and more stable. That bottle is screwed in deep and has pretty solid hold.

I also attached piece of pre-finished hard wood oak to scope ring and can get more stable with this in sitting position.
